Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May immerse themselves in the world of classic cars to find out if they really are more fun than modern machinery. Armed with a budget of 3000 pounds each, they attempt to buy a pre-1982 car at auction. The trio are then sent to Majorca to take part in a classic car rally. Also in the show, Jeremy drives with dinosaurs in the new BMW Z4 and Nissan 370Z, and rock god Brian Johnson is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.
